The commercialization of natural products is growing exponentially in Brazil and, thus, industries need to have increasingly efficient production processes. In view of the industry's demands for process standardization and continuous improvement execution, the objective was to determine actions for the insertion of improvements in the company's production processes. The method is qualitative in nature, with a descriptive and exploratory design. As a research strategy, a case study was used in a natural products company. At the end of the study, it was possible to present proposals for improvement in the stock of finished product, avoiding damage to packaging, as well as changes in product identification, making the space more harmonious and enabling changes in the current layout. Still, it was suggested the implementation of a PCP sector responsible for receiving, processing, raising the demands of raw materials and purchase requests. This way, the employees from the production sector would be responsible only for the production, not needing to segregate orders of products already in stock and without raw material. It was also suggested the application of a supplier control metric with the development of a database, providing an effective improvement in the choice of suppliers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The production of grapes and wines in Rio Grande do Sul is one of the largest in Brazil and, therefore, the requirements related to quality control for both products are paramount to obtain prominence in this market. In this sense, this study aims to describe the production factors that interfere in the quality of the grapes destined to wine production. The method adopted was qualitative in nature, with a descriptive and exploratory design. At the end of the study the factors that interfere in the quality of wine production were identified, highlighting the management, climate, phytosanitary conditions, and the processing adopted. These factors can be controlled through human action together with the addition of technologies that act as facilitators. From the observations and informal interviews, it can be said that all three producers value the quality of their products. Equally, the winery shows extreme care for the production of wines, maintaining constant testing, before the production process, during the production stages, and on the final product, in order to certify the suitability of the product for human consumption. The results presented were satisfactory, presenting the description of the production factors that interfere in the quality of the grapes in the three properties studied. Furthermore, through the study, an understanding of the winemaking processes of a winery was obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work aims to verify the effects on the production and commercialization of agricultural products from the creation of family farming fairs in rural communities in the city of Cedro-CE in the year 2021. Methodologically, the results were obtained through data primary data with the application of a semi-structured questionnaire to the exhibitors of the family agriculture fairs, and secondary data. Data analysis was based on the methodological contributions present in the diagnosis of agrarian systems (DSA) and participatory rural diagnosis (DRP). According to the results, the socioeconomic profile shows that most exhibitors are over 50 years old. The conclusion of the research indicates the need for new projects that contribute and strengthen the economic and social aspects of the exhibitors of fairs in rural communities in the city of Cedro.

This research evaluated farmers’ decisions to adopt organic farming. It was first introduced by developed countries to minimize environmental impacts originated by intensive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to enhance production yield. Although, organic farming offers environmentally sound methodologies for crop production, but Asian farmers are reluctant to adopt organic farming. In this study, a survival analysis (SA) was employed to determine the reasons for and the time is taken by farmers to adopt organic agriculture. This research studied the farmers’ goals, agricultural policies, and attitude towards risk, as covariates in the survival analysis. A multiple criteria decisionmaking method based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process was used to evaluate the farmers’ goals. Data were collected from agricultural farms located in three districts in Punjab, Pakistan. A questionnaire was used to collect empirical evidence. This study reported that the farmers’ goals were crucial to their acceptance of organic farming; furthermore, young farmers and farmers with risk-inclined attitudes were more prone to adopting organic farming. The study also determined that change in policy and introduce special package for organic agriculture can encouraged the adoption of organic methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A dor, além de ser uma experiência desagradável, é um mecanismo importante de proteção do organismo e manutenção da vida, e o entendimento da sua fisiologia, suas principais causas, seu reconhecimento e avaliação em bovinos é necessário para o direcionamento do tratamento ideal, que promova o bem-estar animal minimizando os prejuízos na cadeia produtiva. A avaliação da dor em bovinos representa um desafio e o seu tratamento é considerado muitas vezes inadequado, devido à falta de conhecimento sobre os comportamentos relacionados a dor e a crença que pela sua rusticidade e resistência sintam menos dor que os pequenos animais, ou até mesmo não setem dor. Os estudos a respeito da avaliação da com base no comportamento tem recebido atenção crescente, e geralmente comportamentos de dor em bovinos descritos na literatura são aqueles frequentemente associados a doenças como mastites, metrites, pododermatites, artrite séptica, peritonite, miíases externas, ou práticas de manejo como castrações, marcação com ferro quente e descornas. Algumas ferramentas, como escalas de avaliação da dor, estão sendo produzidas e utilizadas para a avaliação da dor em bovinos, e é notória a percepção da sociedade sobre a importância do reconhecimento e tratamento da dor não só em bovinos, mas em todos os animais de produção, objetivando sobretudo o bem-estar animal.

Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de um Sistema de Comunicação destinado a usuários ouvintes e não-ouvintes, letrados e semiletrados, para ser utilizado no exercício de Atividades de Produção, ou seja, aquelas que auxiliam na capacitação para cumprimento de tarefas, atendimento de metas de produção, controle de produtividade, dentre outras, especificamente no chão-de-fábrica. Os objetivos foram: a) proporcionar a inclusão e a cidadania através da comunicação no trabalho; b) aprimorar o sistema de comunicação gráfico-visual no chão-de-fábrica; c) resgatar a comunicação gráfico-visual através de signos. Por meio de pesquisas linguísticas e desenhísticas, foram identificados os problemas envolvidos nas situações comunicacionais que envolvem as pessoas com deficiência no ambiente de trabalho, principalmente a linguagem gráfico-verbal no caso dos deficientes auditivos e semiletrados e, também, a pouca participação do desenho-de-comunicação para minimizar os constrangimentos comunicacionais. Foi proposto um agrupamento de elementos gráfico-verbais, gráfico-visuais, e gesto-visuais que compõem o Sistema Linguagem da Produção para aplicação em a) programa de computador que sincroniza ordem de serviço e processo de trabalho; b) cartilha para os trabalhadores; e c) programa sinalético para o chão-de-fábrica para uma empresa do setor metal-mecânico que emprega pessoas com deficiência física/mental, mental e auditiva. O Sistema foi testado e aprovado por pessoas com deficiência auditiva, mas precisa ser avaliado na prática do dia a dia.

Este artigo tem o escopo de refletir acerca da obsolescência de mercadorias como um processo atrelado ao desenvolvimento das forças produtivas. Nesse sentido, busca-se compreendê-la à luz dos desdobramentos históricos da subordinação das necessidades humanas à reprodução do valor-de-troca. Apresenta ainda a obsolescência planejada no século XX, caracterizada pela redução da vida útil dos produtos de forma deliberada no âmbito da produção como um expediente resultante desse processo histórico que, em tempos de crise estrutural, emerge como artifício do capital para deslocar a contradição entre produção e consumo.

A Pós-Graduação pública no Brasil enfrenta o que talvez seja o momento mais crítico de toda a sua história. Mais do que o crescente sucateamento e corte de recursos, temos sido sistematicamente atacados, descredibilizados e perseguidos em diferentes espaços sociais. Neste artigo, apresento o meu entendimento sobre o cenário em que estamos e indico dez pontos críticos que precisam ser discutidos, mudados, ou superados na nossa pós-graduação pública. Dentre estes pontos estão a necessidade de revermos entendimentos sobre avaliação e produção, revisitarmos nossas normas e regimentos, reconhecermos as diferentes identidades dos programas, e investirmos na ciência aberta. O principal alerta que faço neste artigo é que, se ignorarmos esses pontos, continuaremos com uma estrutura distorcida e limitante que não nos permitirá avançar efetivamente mesmo com melhoras nos quadros político e econômico.

The introduction of silvopastoral systems, due to the environmental services they provide, constitute a viable and adaptable alternative in countries of tropical and subtropical regions of Latin America. The main of the research was to evaluate the influence of silvopastoral systems in the generation of ecosystem and productive services in the experimental and production center of Salache, Latacunga Canton, Cotopaxi province. Three silvopastoral systems with tree and forage species were selected and introduced. The edaphic indicators related to soil fertility, the dry matter content of the grass within the inclusion and the generation of other environmental services of the trees were determined. Descriptive statistical analyzes were applied such as the comparison of silvopastoral systems through ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis. It was concluded that the introduction of the tree component in silvopastoral systems influences the content of calcium, organic matter and soluble phosphorus. The species that contributes the most to the increase in nutrients in the soil is the Inga edulis Mart. followed by Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. Silvopastoral systems proved to be an effective agroecological practice for the accumulation of dry matter, at higher levels than herbaceous species, especially when the Silvopastoral systems was introduced with Acacia dealbata Link and Inga edulis Mart. These two tree species are the ones that contribute the most to biomass and carbon in the edaphoclimatic conditions of the study area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Citrus is a fruit of great importance in Brazil, mainly in the socio-economic issue as it generates employment and income due to the production and export of concentrated orange juice, as well as other products. In view of the above, this work aimed to evaluate the dormancy overcoming of citrus seeds of the cultivars: Flying Dragon, San Diego, Índio, Cravo Santa Cruz, Riverside, BRS Sunki Tropical, Volkamerian, as well as the species Poncirus trifoliata. The seeds from Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation) Clima Temperado, located in Pelotas-RS, as well as from Embrapa Cassava e Fruticultura, located in Cruz das Almas-BA, were submitted to the germination test as written in the Seed Analysis Rules and a germination test in which a small cut was made in the seed coat on the side of the embryo, around 0.1 mm with the help of a stylet, which was used 200 seeds (4 samples of 50 seeds per repetition) on germitest® paper, moistened with distilled water in an amount equivalent to 2.5 times its weight and kept inside a germinator at a constant temperature of 25 °C, photoperiod of 12 hours. The evaluations were carried out at the end of the 21 days after the installation of the test, providing data that were expressed in percentage of normal and abnormal seedlings and non-germinated seeds (hard, dormant or dead). of citrus seedlings at the end of the tests and the data obtained were submitted to analysis of variance and the means were compared by the Tukey test at a 5% significance level (p≤0.05), with the aid of the R-bio. It is concluded that, when evaluating germination and shoot and root length of seedlings cultivars Flying Dragon, Índio, Cravo Santa Cruz, BRS Sunki Tropical, Riverside and Volkameriano, San Diego and the species P. trifoliata, were satisfactory when submitted in the dormancy breaking process, but further studies are needed.

Goat farming has been present in Brazil since the colonial period, currently the Northeast has the largest contingent of these animals, where they are exploited to obtain meat, milk and leather. The objective of this work was to analyze the profile of goat farming in the municipality of Anajatuba, Maranhão (MA), highlighting the characteristics of the management of the creation and the preponderant socioeconomic aspects involving the activity. For this, eight goat farmers from four villages in the municipality of Anajatuba-MA were interviewed. A pre-structured questionnaire was used with data associated with the owner, property, herd, general management and commercialization of the products. Data were tabulated and presented as percentage averages. The results showed a production chain based on subsistence, with a prevalence of men with an average age of 46 years and low level of education, without planning and technological resources, prevalence of the extensive system of creation dedicated to meat exploitation, with deficient sanitary and reproductive management. There is an inefficiency in the complex that forms the dynamism of the goat production chain in the municipality of Anajatuba-MA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different doses of hydrogen cyanamide on the induction of sprouting and on the productive indexes of the vine 'Grano D'Oro' (Vitis labrusca L.) in the North Plateau of Santa Catarina. The experiment was carried out in the 2020, in a vineyard of 'Grano D'Oro'. The treatments consisted of the application of the following doses of hydrogen cyanamide: 0% (control), 2% 4% and 6% hydrogen cyanamide. It was evaluated: % sprouting, production, productivity, number of branches plant-1, fertility index and technological maturation. The application of hydrogen cyanamide, regardless of the applied dose (2, 4 or 6%) resulted in an increase in sprouted buds (%). As a result of the higher percentage of sprouting and the higher number of bunches per plant, a positive effect of the application of hydrogen cyanamide on production (kg plant-1) and productivity (ton hectare-1) was observed. Regarding the fertility index, it was found that the application of hydrogen cyanamide did not affect this variable. The technological maturation of the berries of the 'Grano D'Oro' vine was not influenced by the application of hydrogen cyanamide. In this context, it is concluded that the application of hydrogen cyanamide is recommended in the 'Grano D'Oro' vine grown in the North Plateau of Santa Catarina, resulting in an increase in production rates, without compromising the quality of the grape.

The article analyzes travelers' descriptions of the production, sale, and consumption of food in the governorates of Santa Marta and Cartagena in the 19th century. The importance of markets and travelers' perceptions of the work of peasants and fishermen are highlighted. The lack of variety of food in the Riohacha market is mentioned, and the food products sold in the markets of Santa Marta, Mompos, Cartagena, and Riohacha are described. Culinary habits, agricultural and commercial practices, and the life of the riverside inhabitants of the Magdalena River are also mentioned. [Extracted from the article]

The Brazilian peasantry needs ways of reproduction for its survival and then stays in the lots of rural settlements that are territorialized. In that, family work becomes an important element for its maintenance, in the face of the advance of capitalism in the countryside. The production in the peasant territory is important for its subsistence and then the commercialization of its products, in which fairs are one of the main instruments for the realization of the peasant market. Thus, the purpose of this work is to present the relationship between the settlers of PA São Judas, PA Margarida Alves and PA Silvio Rodrigues in Rio Brilhante, with the fairs in this municipality and in Maracaju in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. These fairs have become important, as they add value to the final income of peasants who produce and sell vegetables, tubers, fruits, etc. seeking through this market to improve the quality of life and stay in the territory conquered through the struggle of the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the property and appropriation associated with the production of space in Pinheirinho neighbourhood – Alfenas/MG. The investigation about the production os space requires mobilization in triads based upon categories and concepts. The triads allow us in interpretating the relationships between production and reproduction in the neighborhood, highlighted by the strong presence of the real estate sector and the State, which take action for valorization of urban land. Another aspect that was revealed was the use at the level of survival of the residents. The methodological procedures adopted are based on bibliographical review; semi-estructured based interviews by the neighborhood’s residents and surroundings, councilors, mayor, city officials and merchants; statistical data survey, cartographic and photographic.

The present study investigated the correlation between second-language (L2) proficiency and phonological development within a longitudinal frame. Five Brazilian learners of English participated in two data collection sessions with a seven-month interval. Participants completed a paragraph reading task containing several instances of two nasals and a rhotic coda in word-final position, namely, /m n ɹ/. Proficiency was measured via experienced English teachers' ratings of an image description task. Results revealed cross-linguistic influences on coda production with vowel nasalization and deletion of the nasal codas, as well as frication and deletion of the rhotic coda. /ɹ/ was the segment that displayed considerable improvement over time. Statistical analyses unveiled a strong, significant relationship between proficiency and accuracy scores, but this relationship was not significant in the final data collection. The development of the phonological categories at issue seems to have occurred independently of participants' oral proficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of growing season and nitrogen doses on the pickling cucumber. This work was carried out in a greenhouse at the Federal Institute of Goiás (IF Goiano) - Campus Urutaí. A randomized block design in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme with four replications was used. Two growing seasons (the first sown in January and second in April) and five nitrogen doses (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg ha-1 of N) were evaluated. The seed of pickling cucumber used was the Kybria F1 hybrid. Nitrogen doses were applied at 15, 30, and 45 days after plant emergence. Each plot was composed of 10 plants, and the four central plants of each plot with a spacing of 0.2 m between plants and 0.8 m between rows were evaluated. Leaf nitrogen content, relative chlorophyll index, stem diameter, length and diameter of fruits, fresh and dry matter of fruits, the fresh matter of shoot, number of fruits, and yield per plant were evaluated. The growing seasons and nitrogen doses influenced the productive traits of the cucumber crop. The first growing season of the cucumber crop shows satisfactory results in terms of yield components at a dose of 100 kg ha-1 of nitrogen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a resposta produtiva do feijão em função da pulverização adicional de bioestimulantes. O delineamento utilizado foi de blocos casualizados com 6 tratamentos e 5 repetições. Foram utilizados três produtos para compor os tratamentos, sendo eles: 1 - Ácido 4-indol-3-ilbutírico (0,05 g/L), Cinetina (0,09 g/L) e Ácido Giberélico (0,05 g/L); 2 - Ácido Giberélico (400 g/kg); 3 - Ácido Giberélico (18,8 g/L) e Benziladenina (18,8 g/L). As variáveis avaliadas consistiram em altura de planta, diâmetro de caule, número de nós por planta, número de vagens por planta, número de grãos por vagem, massa de mil grãos e produtividade. Foi realizado o Scott-Knott 5% de probabilidade. Não houve diferença estatística significativa para as variáveis, exceto para produtividade, em que os melhores tratamentos foram 4, 5, 6. Portanto, dentre estes tratamentos o melhor devido ao custo-benefício foi o T4.

Este texto tem por objetivo relatar a experiência vivenciada nas agrovilas do Pacuquara e Santa Terezinha, nordeste paraense, quando a Universidade, por meio da pesquisa aplicada e da extensão tecnológica, sai dos seus muros e contribui com o desenvolvimento rural de regiões do estado em que agricultores familiares participam da cadeia produtiva da mandioca. Os agricultores ansiavam em participar de cursos que pudessem melhorar seu sistema produtivo, visto que a cultura da mandioca é uma das principais geradoras de renda das famílias. Após o resultado do diagnóstico da cadeia produtiva na região verificou-se a necessidade de dois cursos: Boas Práticas de Fabricação e Manejo de Mandioca para os agricultores familiares. Verificou-se, através do estudo que não há uma prática de manejo da mandioca eficiente, visto que, em algumas áreas é perceptível a baixa produção em decorrência do uso excessivo de um solo empobrecido e as Boas Práticas de Fabricação possibilitaram aos produtores uma autoavaliação para a melhoria da qualidade de seus empreendimentos e produtos.

O pau-amargo é uma espécie arbórea de interesse para o setor farmacêutico e para a indústria alimentar catarinense, especialmente pelas suas propriedades terapêuticas e condimentares. Para a extração do princípio amargo é utilizado o tronco, portanto é necessário cortar as árvores e isso foi feito durante mais de 60 anos em Santa Catarina. Embora as plantas rebrotem após os cortes, a ocorrência de indivíduos de pau-amargo nas florestas nativas do Estado foi drasticamente reduzida.

O presente artigo problematiza a dualidade existente entre os termos Terra e mundo sob o contexto da crise climática do século XXI. Nele são propostos, a partir da desconstrução de valores antropocêntricos e ecocêntricos, uma análise do paradigma filantropo/sustentável, como modo de compreender interdisciplinaridade da coexistência entre o Homem e a Natureza. Para isso, são demonstrados alguns desequilíbrios hierárquicos presentes na concessão da cultura ocidental proposta por Samuel Huntington, no imaginário ecológico das comunidades indígenas defendidas por Zoe Todd e no impacto ambiental da sociedade de consumo pela perspetiva de Patrick Curry, Richard Sylvan e David Bennett. Como resultado, é demonstrada a importância da compreensão de um equilíbrio entre o consumo e a produção, responsabilizando o antropocentrismo elitista das comunidades ocidentais como causa e solução da problemática ecológica, transversalmente ilustrada a partir do mercado e mundo da arte sob a conceção de inutilidade prática da sua existência e dado a sua contribuição para um problema de superprodução.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar como se constitui a relação entre produção e consumo cultural no Festival Nacional de Teatro da Cidade de Passos (FNTP), no estado de Minas Gerais, durante o ano de 2020. Há no festival um deslocamento das apresentações dos espetáculos na “praça pública presencial” para a “praça pública virtual”, num processo de produção, circulação e consumo de cultura por meio de plataformas virtuais, como o YouTube, Instagram e Facebook, devido a pandemia da covid-19.

Resumo: Objetivou-se identificar a forma como os agentes do sistema agroindustrial do leite no sul e oeste do Maranhão percebem e praticam a produção e a comercialização do leite, bem como as relações entre estes, buscando articular estratégias competitivas regionais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa multicasos qualitativa, com dados coletados mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas, com a utilização da técnica de associação livre de palavras (TALP). Para a avaliação dos resultados, optou-se pelo uso da análise de frequências múltiplas, análise de similitude e elaboração de matriz prototípica. Participaram das entrevistas 23 agentes divididos em quatro grupos, sendo os gestores institucionais responsáveis em apoiar a cadeia do leite, pequenos produtores de leite e laticínios. Nos resultados, foi possível identificar um padrão de opiniões sobre os desafios da produção, bem como aspectos de comercialização do leite considerados importantes institucional e organizacionalmente. Percebeu-se que a infraestrutura e a logística de transporte se posicionaram como sérios obstáculos ao crescimento do mercado leiteiro na região. Além disso, o estudo demonstrou que há uniformidade de critérios considerados importantes para o mercado, como qualidade do leite, higiene na produção, sanidade animal, uso de ordenha mecânica e cumprimento pelos produtores quanto à assistência técnica.
